Woodstock Two is the second live album released of the 1969 Woodstock Festival concert. The two-LP set contains more material from many acts featured on the first Woodstock album with additional performances from Mountain and Melanie.^[2] The tracks by Mountain were in fact not from their Woodstock performance but rather a show recorded at New York's Fillmore East. Unlike the first Woodstock soundtrack LP, this LP does not contain any ancillary stage announcements. Like the previous album this was also packaged in a triple gatefold sleeve.

Woodstock Two was originally released in 1971 as a double LP set^[2] The first CD release was released by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (as a 4 CD collection with the original Woodstock triple LP) and was re-released as a double CD by Atlantic in 1988 and re-issued in 1994. Also in 1994 the songs from both albums, as well as numerous additional, previously unreleased performances from the festival, but not the stage announcements and crowd noises, were reissued on a 4-CD box set titled Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music. An even more comprehensive 6-CD set, Woodstock: 40 Years On: Back to Yasgur's Farm, was issued by Rhino Records in 2009. The 2 cd version was also re-issued by Rhino in 2009.

It was certified Gold in the US on April 1, 1971.^[4] It peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Top LPs chart during the week of May 7, 1971.^[5]
